INFINITY'S KITCHEN

Infinity's Kitchen (2008-2020) was a print publication, web site, and performance series devoted to innovative forms of literature, made from new recipes, with compelling ingredients. Publication ceased in 2020. This site is an archive of back issues, web features, and ephemera.

Infinity's Kitchen № 11

An exploration of very short performances. For fiction writers, very short forms are called "microfiction", or "nano-fiction." For many of the works collected here, online, and in our Late Show reading series, the performance is also microscopic. The possibilities seem endless, but brief.

Infinity's Kitchen № 09

The ninth issue of Infinity's Kitchen was designed in an actual kitchen. Much of its inspiration came from cookbooks, and its contributors were encouraged to consider the "recipe" of their work, the ingredients, the process required to make the good stuff.

The eighth issue of Ininfity's Kitchen, the "awkward geohyrophilia edition" is a bridge of sorts. Some of the contributors to the print edition also have work that appears online and a couple of them have even performed their work at the Infinity's Kitchen Late Show. Even so, there are some unique and interesting works that you can only find in the printed edition. We hope you'll enjoy it.

Infinity's Kitchen № 04

The fourth issue of Infinity's Kitchen is about silence: overlooked wishes and people, forgotten music, fading ink. Writing is the best way to discuss silence. Along the way, as usual, we're trying some different recipes for the way words are written on the page, because it can't be done out loud.

Infinity's Kitchen № 03

We've included a paper boat inside the printed publication. Assuming that all the folds are in all the right places, you should actually be able to float this boat, at the park or in your bathtub, and I hope you will. I hope you'll first take the opportunity to unfold the boat and read Hao Cheng's delightful story, "Paper Boats". I also hope you'll try to fold the boat yourself, because it's fun!

Infinity's Kitchen № 02

With the second issue of Infinity's Kitchen, we're experimenting with ideas that we borrowed from concrete poetry. Concrete poetry, or visual poetry, is written so that the arrangement of the words on the page is important. It's a great way to add some flavor to the poetry.

Infinity's Kitchen № 01

The first issue of Infinity's Kitchen considers that sometimes, there's nothing to understand. For example: the story with no moral; the image with no picture, or even the picture that's merely a picture; just plain music. Understanding isn't everything. Art is not science.
